Why Drink Mineral Water?

The other day while shopping at Trader Joes, I bought three different brands of Mineral Water.  I bought the Trader Joe brand, Gerolsteiner and the S. Pellegrino.  I bought all three to see how I felt after drinking a cup of mineral water every morning.

I heard that mineral water is supposed to be healthy and give you a little lift in the morning.  Since I don’t drink coffe, Red Bulls, or Rock Stars, I thought I’d give the mineral water a try.  It makes since to drink mineral water in the morning.  You have been sleeping for about seven hours, you haven’t had any water in your system.  When waking up the body needs to be replenished again.  The minerals in the water does just that, plus more.  For example, drinking mineral water can lower cholesterol.  Furthermore, A study published in the “Journal of Nutrition” in 2008 pointed out benefits of drinking mineral water for cardiovascular health and lowering blood pressure.

It’s only a week since I’ve started drinking mineral water. I feel good and refreshed in the morning.  Right now I’m drinking the Gerolsteiner.  It has a higher mineral content with natural carbonation added.

I think mineral waters popularity has grown dramatically in recent decades as research continues to show that mineral water is much healthier to drink than tap water or even purified water.

I’ll do a followup on the other bottles!
